I prioritize ethics over optics even if it means facing criticism.

Sharing my honest beliefs, welcoming constructive debates, and embracing the potential for evolving viewpoints. Independent thinker navigating through conversations without allegiance to any particular side.

Thorny_Insight,

placing the burden on the legal system to prove it to the contrary.

That’s how it should be. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise.

Thorny_Insight,

The cynicism here is hilarious. This is literal good news but no, it’s actually just further proof how shitty the republicans are.

Thorny_Insight,

Even this “article” is about nothing happening. The driver was paying attention and took over when the vehicle was about to do something it should. Just as they should.

Also, even if FSD was 10x safer than a human driver and we replaced every single car on the roads with Teslas there would still be 8 people dying every single day in the US alone. Linking articles about these accidents does not prove it being unsafe. It only feeds the confirmation bias of the person posting it and the people upvoting it. People want it to be unsafe so that they can shit on Elon. The standards they apply to Tesla are ridiculous compared to that of other companies. The extremely limited Mercedes Drive Pilot is praised as revolutionary tech while FSD already checks most boxes for Level 4 self-driving.

Thorny_Insight,

It’s called Full Self Driving (Supervised) nowdays. They changed the name.

The vehicle is capable of driving you to the grocery store on the other side of the city and back, sometimes with zero interventions from the driver. If that’s not Full Self Driving then I don’t know what is.

Thorny_Insight,

How does it not fully self drive? What’s your definition of full self driving then?

Mercedes Drive Pilot is Level 3 and even it will prompt you to take over when necessary, does it not fully self drive then either? What about Waymo/Cruze? They have remote operators controlling the vehicles when they get stuck. Not fully self driving either? Is the standard that it needs to be absolutely flawless and never fail or what is it?

Thorny_Insight,

It’s about as intelligent as a newborn.

Newborns can’t even utter one cohesive word. I don’t get the point of making such an obviously false claims about anything.

Thorny_Insight,

80 people die every single day in traffic accidents in the US alone and we’re focusing on the leading company trying to solve this issue when their car almost hits a train.

Thorny_Insight,

Intelligence is not binary, but a spectrum.

Thorny_Insight, (edited )

The new models with hardware 4 (atleast models S and X) have a radar but then again humans can manage without so I have no doubt that a vision-based system will be more than sufficient in the end.

Thorny_Insight,

Then what is full self driving to you? How good does the system need to be to qualify?

Thorny_Insight,

I can’t find any source for that claim

Nirvana fallacy

Yeah would be nice. Unfortunelately it isn’t so and it’s never going to. Chasing after people generating distasteful AI pictures is not making the world a better place.

Alternative perspective is to think that does watching normal porn make heterosexual men more likely to rape women? If not then why would it be different in this case?

The vast majority of pedophiles never offend. Most people in jail for child abuse are just plain old rapists with no special interest towards minors, they’re just an easy target. Pedophilia just describes what they’re attracted to. It’s not a synonym to child rapist. It usually needs to coinside with psychopathy to create the monster that most people think about when hearing that word.

Thorny_Insight,

Someone paralyzed from the neck down for whom this enables the use of computers, which they before couldn’t do, probably would rather have the outdated model than none

Thorny_Insight,

Yeah, “just shove it in deeper” sounds like a brilliant plan.

Does your past experience in brain surgery suggest that this might be a bad idea?

They’re volunteers with next to nothing to lose. This isn’t some healthy person who just wants to play angry birds with their mind. They’re getting an experimental device planted into their brain. I’m sure they’re aware of the risks.

Thorny_Insight,

What’s the alternative? We either don’t create this technology at all or we do and accept the fact that it’s going to involve a lot of trial and error. You don’t just skip all that and jump to the final product. There’s only so much you can test on animals which exactly isn’t the most ethical thing to begin with anyway. At some point you’re going to need to stick it in a human brain.

The first heart transplant recepient died after 18 days. Should we have not done that either?

Thorny_Insight,

Like by sticking them deeper?

Thorny_Insight,

Is every non-blindly hateful person a fanboy? Any chance that some of us just look at things as they are instead of getting emotionally invested with it?

Thorny_Insight,

And I’m sure they’re aware of that. What are you trying to say here? Abandon development of this technology?

Thorny_Insight, (edited )

That’s up to the individual, I don’t think there’s universal answer to that. If it eventually makes it possible to restore a person’s sight, hearing or the ability to walk, I’m sure most would take the gamble.

Thorny_Insight,

I don’t think it’s capable of doing what the ultimate goal of Neuralink is, which is much more than being able to move a cursor on the screen. Science and technology wont stop advancing just because it’s potenttially risky.

Thorny_Insight,

Oh don’t worry. They’re fine.

Thorny_Insight,

It’s the winter that makes summer so enjoyable. Can’t appreciate nice weather if it’s like that every day.

Thorny_Insight,

I live in Finland

Thorny_Insight,

Don’t be. I’m much rather here.
